Pulled Pork Veg with Banana Peels 🍌

Francesca Diomede
Francesca Diomede @franci_diomede22

Culinary preparations using banana peels are common in Southeast Asian, Venezuelan, and Indian cuisines. The pulled pork recipe made with banana peels that I present to you was created by a Canadian vegan blogger, Melissa Copeland, and went viral in the UK in 2019. In 2020, Nadiya Hussein, winner of the British talent show "The Great British Bake Off," revealed that she used banana peels in making burgers to reduce food waste. This is my version; I had two large, ripe banana peels left over and wanted to prepare this 'unusual' recipe. The only recommendation is to use organic bananas!!!
